Download Link of Fifth Track - Saiji Ke Darshan Paaye

This bhajan has been placed in the fifth position on the cd cover of SAI TERE HAZAARON NAAM. But it was the first bhajan which was recorded. Today while writting this post, I was reminded of the day when I went for "recording" for the first time in Chandigarh. There was a big picture of Goddess Saraswati in the recording studio. I purchased some sweets as it was tradition that whenever there was any recording, offerings were made first to God. While Mr. Charan Thakur was distributing sweets to us (myself, Vikram and Dinesh) I requested him to allow me to offer prayer to my beloved Shirdi Sai Baba. I said it will only take 5 minutes. He answered in affirmative and I sat in a corner of the floor, placed Shirdi Sai Baba photo in front of me and prayed whole heartedly. Everyone present there were surprised to see me like this. Another point I would like to state here is that as a singer, of course, I wanted to go ahead in field of singing. So I wrote bhajans for Shirdi Sai Baba which was a part of my devotion and love towards Shirdi Sai Baba and also wrote few songs in Punjabi which was a part of my passion of life i.e. music. Everyone advised me to record the Punjabi songs album first and then go for bhajans. I agreed outwardly but deep within I had strong desire to record bhajans first and I had decided firmly to go with bhajans first. It was my desire to record both the albums at the same time only. My closed ones also advised me to go for any one of them as recording both of the album was expensive. But I was determined for recording both the albums at the same time and as always, Shirdi Sai Baba was with me.

Coming back to the first day of "recording", as everybody advised me, Mr. Charan Thakur, the studio owner, also advised me the same. Since I was very determined to record bhajans first, he asked me to sing few lines first. I started with Shirdi Ke Saiji Ko...oooo Shirdi Ke Saiji Ko… Jo Man Mein Basaye…. Wo Saiji Ke Darshan Paaye Wo Saiji Ke Darshan Paaye Subah Shaam Saiji Ki….iii Subah Shaam Saiji Ki Jyoti Jo Jalaye Wo Saiji Ke Darshan Paaye.... Wo Saiji Ke Darshan Paaye....Mr. Charan Thakur was so much impressed with my voice quality and feelings towards Shirdi Sai Baba that he hugged me as soon as I sang the first verse. He was in tears and said that lyrics of the bhajan touched his heart. He willingly agreed to record bhajans first. On the same day we recorded this bhajan and I was given its master copy. I listened this bhajan wherever I went for four-five consecutive days in my car. In this way the recording of the bhajans started in the name of Shirdi Sai Baba.

There is a line in the second verse of the bhajan Mehnat Ke Saath Haa… Kamai Jo Karte Hai Sai Unke Ghar Sada Khusiyo Se Bharte Hai... It is simple line yet it holds great importance in my life which I realised today. Although the bhajan was written two years back, it has come out to be true now. So I would like to convey a message that what ever work you do, do it with utmost faith in Shirdi Sai Baba and with sincerity and honesty. Then only Shirdi Sai Baba will be with you always. I did my Karma very honestly and keeping faith in Shirdi Sai Baba, so I am on such a position today where my Sai Family members listen and read me with great patience. People come up to me on their own to help me in propogating the album and in blog work too and thus make me stand on a superior position which I had never thought of in dream. When the album was made in 2006, I was rather doubtful regarding the publicity and distribution of the album, but today many such Sai Bandhus have come up for me. Thus the list of the contributors for making and propogating SAI TERE HAZAARON NAAM album is increasing day by day and I hope it never stops.
